Part 1
Kate Watkins, a
standout Storm volleyball player for two years, now spends her free time
studying to be a nurse at DCCC where she says she applies of the concepts she
learned on the court.
“Just like volleyball,
nursing can be tough,” said Watkins, a 21-year-old who works in teams with her
classmates in problem-based nursing exercises. “I learned that everyone has
different strengths and brings something different to the table. I also learned
that we have to respect each other.”
Watkins is a May 2012 candidate
to receive her Associate Degree in Nursing. She hopes to pursue her B.S.N. at
Winston-Salem State University and eventually get her master’s degree in
nursing.
Setting educational
goals and working hard to achieve them brings a great feeling of
accomplishment. It builds self-esteem, and increases self-confidence. Education
opens up many doors of opportunity that normally would not open up for people.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!
